Florida to Open New "Deportation Depot" Amid Trump's Immigration Crackdown | Firstpost America

Florida is set to open a second immigration detention facility, dubbed the "Deportation Depot," at the Baker Correctional Institution in the state's north, one month after launching the "Alligator Alcatraz" centre in the Everglades. Governor Ron DeSantis says the site will provide 1,300 detention beds, expandable to 2,000, to support President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown policy. Costing an estimated $6 million to adapt, it is expected to open within weeks. Critics, including Democrats, have condemned the move. The plan comes as a federal judge last week temporarily halted new construction at "Alligator Alcatraz" as a lawsuit over its environmental impact plays out. Watch to know more.
